I've eaten too much... again!

We've just finished supper and have assumed our Saturday night positions. Dave in the dining room, me and the cats on the sofa with X factor in front of us.

We have spent the day at the shop, now we have the internet on at the unit we have been busy little bees. We have started the much needed maintenance, overhaul and updating of the website and spent most of the day sorting out the photographs on the site.
At some point over the last month, I have managed to corrupt the picture upload programme for the website and lots of the pictures had started to work incorrectly (or not work at all). So Dave and I have been working our way through hundreds of pictures to correct the problems with them and re-upload them to the site.
Okay, so in reality Dave has been sorting it out and I have been offering (not-so) constructive comments and cups of tea at strategic intervals ~but I do make a very good cup of tea. I've been packaging and parceling the orders placed via the website last night and today's orders as they have come in.

I telephoned both the children today; Cecily is at her digs in Bath and Alec tells me that he is at Butlins! He never ceases to amaze me, he went to a music festival with a friend to celebrate her birthday and somehow has ended up by a swimming pool at Butlins ~ oh to be young again.

The shop has been quiet for the last couple of days, so if you are local or are in the area, it would lovely if you called in to say hello. The shop is open again on Tuesday morning at 10.
Chat later, Liz
